About the Conference
PR Advanced is proud to host its 16th Annual District Conference: “Looking Back to Move Forward.” Join us on Saturday, February 25, 2023, to experience a blast from the past. The last three years have brought about a surge in our profession: from crisis communication with the pandemic to international communications, DEI communications and employee engagement as people work remote-hybrid. Despite the ever-changing environment, the fundamentals of communication – clear objectives, strong strategy, and a good understanding of audiences – remain true. This conference will feature an opening reception; six breakout sessions on topics including but not limited to corporate social responsibility, media relations, and in-house versus agency; two keynote speakers from the growing fields of healthcare and technology; networking opportunities; and a career fair. Like the industry professionals before us, we don’t know what the future holds. Thus, we must look back at the past to move forward with their legacy.
